Max Edler von Poosch
This painting depicts 3 planes flying over the Swiss Alps. The picture shows a new style of fighting in the war, by planes. Dogfights, battles in the air, first took place in World War I. The idea was new and Max Edler von Poosch painted this picture describing what it would look like to be flying to a battle.

This painting also shows another new aspect of the war. The man is lying in the streets, dead, with his surroundings blown up. Bombings were now taking place of civilians. Innocent people not in the war were being killed by these bombings, which was never really experienced in war before. Bombs were dropped from the sky from things like a Zeppelin and destroyed cities.

Though not a new idea to war, death and injury became a big topic for painters during the war. A lot of art that was produced during the war had to do with the war itself. This painting shows a field hospital where injured soldiers would go to get help. If they could not get help, they would just die there.
